Plzeň goes to show that a beer doesn’t need a lot of alcohol to be special. With its fine, hoppy flavour, this 5% blond beer can certainly hold its own against the stronger beers. Brewed only from pale barley malt, this is a floral beer with delightful, hoppy aromas of hay and fresh grass. Deliciously dry, with a long-lasting aftertaste. We named the beer after the Czech town of Plzeň, from which Pilsner beers originate. Despite that, our Plzeň is not a Pilsner; it is a refreshing, bitter, top-fermented beer.

Surprisingly tasty beer, probably because it’s a top fermented pilsner. (although that’s technically impossible) Subtle bitter and fruity taste.

Hazy orange golden colour, good frothy white head, fades after a while, thin layer remains, good lacing. Grassy aroma, bread, some dough, hay, floral hops. Medium sweet and bitter taste, hint of lemon. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation, dry, smooth, lasting bittersweet finish.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy yellowish gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a good amount of straw with a bit of grass and some sweet grains. Flavor has a nice grass and straw with a backing leaf note.
